Eastpak Bags are the authentic brand for packs and bags…famed for their style, toughness & functionality.
Originally established 1960 by Monte Goldman, Eastpak started life as ‘Eastern Canvas Products’ making products such as duffel bags and knapsacks for the armed forces. In 1976 Monte’s son Mark noticed that students were using military daypacks as book bags and convinced his father to begin manufacturing a line of daypacks especially for consumers. The collection was introduced under the Eastpak name and fast became a favourite among the alternative thinkers across college and university campuses.
Eastpak was the first brand to use Cordura to make its packs - making them tougher, stronger and better value for money than any of the others out there. They were also the first brand to experiment with wild colours and bold prints making their bags fun and fashionable. It’s this vision and innovative approach that has seen Eastpak develop into the brand it is today - producing a range of bags, apparel and accessories that combine style, utility and value for money.
They pride themselves on their ‘Built to Resist’ philosophy and offer a 30 year warranty on all their standard* packs and luggage, so you can buy with confidence.
Eastpak is the real deal, don’t accept anything less!

Vans Trainers reflect more than 40 years Vans still strives to create durable footwear that allows the imagination to run wild. Back in 1966, the Van Doren Rubber Company opened up for business in Anaheim, CA. Soon, Vans’ simple canvas shoes became a staple at the beach and throughout Southern California. Not long after, SoCal youngsters found that Vans’ sticky gum rubber sole and sturdy construction made the shoes perfect for skateboarding. Those beach staples have evolved into a full line of Vans’ Classics that pay homage to our surf and skate heritage.
